In partnership with:

šŸŒ… Good morning, housing leaders! We’ve now reached the final stretch of Trump’s ā€œNational Housing Emergencyā€ proposals. In Part 1, we tackled land, zoning, and permitting. In Part 2, we dove into closing costs, loan structures, and multigenerational financing.

And today, in Part 3, we wrap it up with the money movers that could reshape the entire housing market: construction costs, mortgage spreads, and the fate of Fannie & Freddie.

Let’s dive in! šŸ‘‡

Part 3

Final stretch: reducing build costs, nudging rates via spreads, and what happens if the GSEs exit conservatorship.

8ļøāƒ£ 🪵 Construction Cost Levers—Tariff Relief on Materials

  • Treasury has floated tariff exclusions for steel, aluminum, copper, and possibly lumber.

  • Lower input costs could nudge projects into feasibility and expand supply.

9ļøāƒ£ šŸ“‰ Narrowing Mortgage Spreads—What a 40 bp Drop Looks Like

  • As of Sept 4, 2025, Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year fixed rate = 6.50%.

  • A 40 bps drop → ~6.10%.

  • Even 25–40 bps often flips borrowers from ineligible to eligible.

  • Why: Shrinking the MBS–Treasury spread can unlock thousands of approvals—without the Fed cutting the Fed Funds rate.

šŸ”Ÿ šŸ¦ Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac—Exit Conservatorship Without Raising Rates?

  • Plan: Release the GSEs with capital + IPO.

  • Pro argument: Liquidity + credit expansion; possible sovereign wealth fund seed.

  • Skeptic view: Rates could rise 25–90 bps without explicit backstop.

  • Counter-argument: Urban Institute & AEI say rates are unlikely to rise significantly if capital is adequate and implicit/explicit backing remains; investor confidence hinges on clarity, not conservatorship status.
